    Google maps

    My son has just shown me Google maps and I thought it would be quite interesting to share with each where we live or work or practice so we could all have a look at where we all hang out.

    So just for fun I will start with where we train in Darlington.

    Find Darlington in the UK, scroll in till Yarm Road appears. Scroll in until The Fairway appears. The school where we train is at the end near the junction with The Crossway. press the satellite button and you will see the school show up we train in the 3rd up facing 'prong' from the left.

    that is where to aim your smart bombs people.

    My normal dojo.
    My 'summer' dojo.

    The summer dojo is much easier to get to. I do most of my practise privately at my university sports centre, but it doesn't really count as a dojo (until we get some students coming along, at least).

    Your Normal Dojo is Buckingham Palace?
    And your summer Dojo is in Jigsaw-Puzzle Land?

    If you zoom out far enough it reveals itself to be a picture of a donkey with a funny hat on.
